Montreal Police Constable Stephanie Trudeau is, as evidenced by her own actions, a thug. She makes the tradition of RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler proud. As is the style of so many police constables today, she is known primarily through her badge number, 728. Constable 728’s primary goal in any interaction with we mere citizens is to ensure our immediate and complete … [Read more...]
Yes, Recording Police IS Legal. That won’t stop you from being arrested though
It is legal to videotape police doing their job, even when they don’t like it. This is true on both sides of the border. The trouble is that while video-recording is legal, police still seize cameras and harass mere citizens even though those citizens have committed no crimes. The latest victim of this police malfeasance is George Thompson, who used his cell phone camera to … [Read more...]
RCMP Anti-Bullying Initiative is Ill-Timed and Thoroughly Misguided
While the RCMP promoted Pink Shirt Day as a way of stopping bullying in schools, the horsemen took to bullying some of Canada’s best and most law-abiding citizens: gun owners. In true hypocritical fashion, the Boys with the Yellow Stripes did precisely as they pleased and with zero regard for the people they bullied into criminals. RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson’s … [Read more...]
Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Rogue Cops Making Policy?
After the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arbitrarily manufactured over 13,000 “gun criminals” last week by reclassifying Swiss Arms and CZ 858 rifles from non-restricted to prohibited, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney announced a 5-year amnesty protecting those formerly law-abiding gun owners from prosecution. Gun owners across the country are understandably … [Read more...]
CSIS Does “End-Run” Around Privacy Law to Spy on Canadians Abroad
It’s as horrifying as it is becoming routine: Canadian police agencies lying to Judges in Court so they can keep violating the law they are supposed to uphold. This time is the Canadian spy agency CSIS that’s caught in the spotlight. Judge Richard Mosley wasn’t pleased when he discovered CSIS and the Communication Security Establishment of Canada (CSEC) lied to him. Both … [Read more...]
[Video] High River RCMP Dog and Pony Show
RCMP in High River, Alberta, broke into the homes of evacuated residents and seized every firearm that wasn't bolted down or locked in a safe, claiming "public safety". These criminals with badges and guns must lose their jobs and face criminal charges for violating the Charter Rights of High River residents. Write your MP, Prime Minister Harper, Premier Alison Redford … [Read more...]
High River RCMP Thieves Stole More Than Just Guns…
It's what we feared all along. After RCMP members broke into the homes of flood victims in High River, Alberta, they stole far more than just guns. While illegally searching the homes of Canadians without a search warrant, High River's RCMP thieves just couldn't help themselves to a few extra items "since they were there". One female resident is making a unique plea that … [Read more...]
What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common?
What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common? Both police forces have no respect for their citizens or the Rule of Law. In the town of Vradiyevka, Ukraine, roughly 330 kilometers south of Kiev, furious protesters took to the streets after authorities refused to arrest a police officer suspected in the brutal gang-rape of a young woman … [Read more...]
High River T-Shirt Says it All About RCMP Gun Thievery
A picture is truly worth a thousand words when it comes to High River's RCMP Gun Thieves! … [Read more...]
High River RCMP Looters are CRIMINALS and must be treated as such IMMEDIATELY
RCMP members and commanders in High River, Alberta, are the worst kind of criminals imaginable. They lay in wait for you until you are at your most vulnerable before they rape and pillage your belongings and then demand YOU pick up the tab for their thievery and destruction. Sounds harsh, doesn't it. It is. The more articles I read describing what these RCMP … [Read more...]
RCMP Violates Property Rights of High River Flood Victims, Searches Homes and Seizes Their Firearms Without Warrant
It’s a story we’ve seen too many times before... the RCMP willingly and completely without legal justification searches homes without a warrant and seizes firearms “for the public good”. No crime is alleged or presumed, just the same tired old mantra “Guns Are Bad” and therefore must be seized. Illegally, I might add. High River Alberta's flood victims are victimized … [Read more...]
Rapper J Wildd and the Edmonton City Police Service
Rapper J Wildd contacted me the other day. He's having some trouble with the Edmonton City Police and wanted my input on a video he recorded of his latest interaction with Edmonton's finest. Now I'm no fan of Rap, but I am a fan of some of the artists in the field, having met and worked with some of the biggest names in the business. With a notable exception who will … [Read more...]
Rookie Ottawa Constable claims she was shot, sparks massive manhunt, but did she really shoot herself?
A Gantineau, Quebec, police constable, apparently raiding a Saturday night bush party outside Ottawa, managed to get herself shot instead. The only question remaining now is this: Who shot her? The rookie constable with just 3 years on the job called for backup after the gunshot and, while she never made any mention of shooting herself in that call for backup, didn’t set … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Harley Gillman Guilty of Fraud but kept on the Force
It is very difficult to comprehend why RCMP Constable Harley Gillman is still a cop. One would think that a repeated pattern of theft and abuse of trust would be grounds to fire a corrupt cop but not so when it comes to the RCMP. In the RCMP it simply means a lengthy paid vacation and then back to business as usual. I wrote about this thieving cop back on August 11, 2012 in … [Read more...]
Infamous RCMP Thug Geoff Mantler is Finally Sentenced… to a Joke on Us
It’s taken a long time but that infamous thug and former (Thank God!) RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler was finally sentenced for brutally kicking Buddy Tavares in the face. Like Benjamin (Monty) Robinson before him in his obstruction of justice trial for killing Orion Hutchinson, Canada's justice system protects those who wear the venerable red serge, no matter how heinous their … [Read more...]
When is Police Brutality NOT Police Brutality? When the Judge Says So…
RCMP Constable Andy Yung is a real piece of work. And by that I mean he is the type of man we really don't want patrolling our streets armed with a badge, a gun and the power to do as he pleases. He first hit my radar a few years ago when in a drunken fit he fired his service pistol through the ceiling of his hotel room. At the time he was one of a supposedly select group … [Read more...]
Shocking News! Robert Dziekanski’s Death at the hands of RCMP Thugs Ruled a Homicide!
It only took the BC Coroners Service 5 years… It’s rather astounding, I must admit, but the BC Coroners Service finally reached the blatantly obvious conclusion that Robert Dziekanski’s death was a homicide. From the Toronto Sun: The coroner’s report (download PDF) released Monday found that Dziekanski, 40, died from a heart attack moments after four RCMP officers zapped … [Read more...]
Why Government Despises Liberty… Thoughts on Bastiat’s classic “The Law”
Frederik Bastiat, in his classic “The Law”, wrote: Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. How true these words are, yet they're miles and miles from our current reality. Today governments decree what we may own, … [Read more...]
And the Special Treatment for Spouse-Abusing RCMP members just keeps on coming…
One of my ongoing pet peeves is the special treatment RCMP members receive at the hands of our so-called justice system. Let's say, just for clarity, a man works at a shooting club. He's in charge of the place and has access to firearms all day long. At night he goes home and beats his wife, leaving her with bruises on her neck. Twice. Nobody would bat an eye at … [Read more...]
Labrador RCMP member arrested for child luring
Remember when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said in defense of the warrantless search provisions of Bill C-30, “You’re with us, or the child pornographers”? I find it rather ironic that, just days before Bill C-30 was officially scrapped, an RCMP member in Newfoundland was arrested and charged with child luring on the internet. A member of the RCMP has been arrested and … [Read more...]
Toronto Police Services constable Edward Ing is acquitted of police brutality
Toronto Police Services constable Edward Ing hit the jackpot with his retrial on charges of police brutality. Despite a scathing indictment of his actions by the judge in his first trial, Justice Steven Clark managed to rule: “There was an air of reality to his explanation.” Wow. Really? That's a far cry from what Justice J.E. Allen said while convicting Edward Ing in … [Read more...]
Must be nice to be a Corrupt Toronto Cop at Sentencing Time
I truly get sick of seeing corrupt policemen, instead of receiving prison time for their crimes, be rewarded for them instead by our asinine justice system. Clearly judges in Ontario are taking lessons in stupidity from B.C. Supreme Court Judge Janice Dillon, who sentenced former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson to a whopping 30 days of house arrest for obstruction of justice … [Read more...]
Who needs the Constitution when you can have a Police State instead?
[powerpress] You’ve heard the saying many times before… The solution is worse than the problem it’s supposed to solve. That’s precisely the state of affairs in Paragould, Arkansas, a small town roughly 90 miles northwest of Memphis, Tennessee, today. Citizens of this small town, population 26,000, stripped of their Constitutional Rights, are now … [Read more...]
Even Buddy Tavares doesn’t believe Cst. Geoff Mantler will be convicted of police brutality
Buddy Tavares is the man who was brutally kicked in the face by RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler on January 6, 2011. A Kelowna reporter happened to be there at the time and recorded the entire thing on video. That video went viral and public outrage and condemnation of Mantler's apparent over-reaction was swift. In the wake of the Mantler video showing what seems to be blatant … [Read more...]
Brutal Thug (and Kelowna RCMP Constable) Geoff Mantler will finally face trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face
[powerpress] Anyone who has visited this site before will know precisely what I think of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler. I think he's a thug with a badge and a gun who should be fired from the RCMP and spend a long time rotting in a jail cell. Geoff Mantler will now stand trial in Kelowna, BC, on November 26, 2012 for the brutal … [Read more...]
Systemic Racism inside Thunder Bay Police Services? Sure looks that way from the outside.
In our Digital Age it''s very easy to screw up. Never more so than when [allegedly] racist Thunder Bay Police Services (TBPS) Detective John Read writes an offensive "joke" press release about the murder of Adam Yellowhead with the headline “Fresh Breath Killer Captured!!!” and then sends it out to hundreds of media outlets by "mistake". To quote the headline from a Globe … [Read more...]
Bakersfield Cop Tries Trading Sex for Return of Stolen Property and Rapes Burglary Victim
Isn’t it great when, after you have been victimized by thieves, the cops come along and victimize you all over again? That’s [allegedly] the case in Bakersfield, California, where Bakersfield Police Officer Patrick Lefler was arrested after trying to extort sexual favours from a woman he was sent to help. Instead of actually returning the stolen property to the young woman … [Read more...]
RCMP Sgt. Owen Wlodarczak thinks he should not suffer any consequences for threatening to shoot his wife in the head
In May 2010 RCMP Staff Sgt. Owen Wlodarczak went home, punched his wife in the face half a dozen times and then threatened to shoot her in the head with his service pistol. He committed this vile act in front of his children. True to the double-standard in sentencing RCMP members as compared to we mere citizens, Owen Wlodarczak was sentenced to absolutely zero jail time; … [Read more...]
Corey Maygard: Harassed by Edmonton Police for the “crime” of videotaping them on a public street
Corey Maygard was on the street on Friday, August 10, 2012 and saw what he thought were Edmonton Police Service constables physically abusing a man. He pulled out his iPhone and started recording what he witnessed. One of the constables came over and demanded that Corey stop recording them. Fine. The constable can make any demand he likes. That doesn’t mean anyone has to … [Read more...]
Systemic Disrespect: Almost half of all RCMP complaints are for abusive behaviour
It's a shocking statistic from the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP. While attempting to find a specific decision on their website I discovered this tidbit of information: 43.6% of ALL complaints against the RCMP are for abusive behaviour and language. That is incredible and shows a systemic problem that RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson cannot be happy … [Read more...]
